It is just as demeaning to say we are not Created as described as to say that there was no Resurrection, as both positions are very supported by science. Neither of these are positions put forth by any Catholic in this thread, and therefore isn't even relevant to the discussion. I, for one, am arguing for an understanding of how science and faith can work together, not for a rejection of faith (or of science, for that matter).

" I, for one, am arguing for an understanding of how science and faith can work together, not for a rejection of faith (or of science, for that matter)."

Again, look to the words of our Pope:

It is the affair of the natural sciences to explain how the tree of life in particular continues to grow and how new branches shoot out from it. This is not a matter for faith. But we must have the audacity to say that the great projects of the living creation are not the products of chance and error. Nor are they the products of a selective process to which divine predicates can be attributed in illogical, unscientific, and even mythic fashion. The great projects of the living creation point to a creating Reason and show us a creating Intelligence, and they do so more luminously and radiantly today than ever before. Thus we can say today with a new certitude and joyousness that the human being is indeed a divine project, which only the creating Intelligence was strong and great and audacious enough to conceive of. Human beings are not a mistake but something willed; they are the fruit of love. They can disclose in themselves, in the bold project that they are, the language of the creating Intelligence that speaks to them and that moves them to say: Yes, Father, you have willed me.

Untrue. NL was/is an evo advocate. I have spent countless replies on him.

Science can work with Faith and I welcome it, especially where it shows the truth of it all. But if faced with a choice to believe the Bible or believe an AGW type, well, I’ll go with the Lord, thank you.

There is no conflict between faith and (REAL) science; the conflict is between faith and (JUNK) science i.e. evolution. Aside from that, there is a larger conflict bertween evolution and other (REAL) branches of science, particularly mathematics and probability theory.
